The howler monkey god was a major deity of the arts – including music – and a patron of the artisans among the Classic Mayas, especially of the scribes and sculptors…

…it are the two large statues of simian figures shaking rattles (see fig.), found on both sides of the ‘Reviewing Stand’ of Copan’s temple 11, that approach much more closely the standard representation of this animal in Maya art..

Variously described as wind gods and comedians, these statues may actually represent howler monkeys in their quality of musicians.

By astrology standards, Muslims are Ketu (all brawn and no brain), while Christians are Rahu (they only have the head but no body).

That is why Christians are more subtle.. it is very difficult to catch Christians. They will couch their violence behind Maoists, Dalits, Muslims and US. However, Muslms are direct. You can feel the muslim presence in violent ghettoes, direct flicks of women and bomb blasts.

Technically, Christians are difficult to handle.. because they eat your head space. They will built hospitals, give you drinking water to such an extent that they will create guilt in you to keep your mouth shut.

It takes real spirituality to see beyond the deceptioni. That is why I stress on Asthanga Yoga. It gives you depth and sensitivity to see through the deception.

So Atha Yoganushasanam (now the discipline of Yoga).

Postscript: The Church is afraid of Yoga. It has declared it un-Christian. Now you know the reason why?
